'Unbelievable': Eleven-year-old girl's 'inoperable' brain tumour vanishes
Doctors have been left baffled after an 11-year-old girl’s inoperable brain tumour seemingly disappeared six months after diagnosis.
In June, Roxli Doss was told she had an aggressive and rare brain tumour called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
The schoolgirl from Texas, US went through weeks of radiation therapy to shrink the inoperable tumour, which is now undetectable on MRI scans.
“When I first saw Roxli’s MRI scan, it was actually unbelievable,” Dell Children’s Medical Centre’s Dr Virginia Harrod told local news station KVUE.
“The tumour is undetectable on the MRI scan, which is really unusual.”
The girl’s parents, Gena and Scott Doss, said it was a miracle and have thanked God for “healing” their little girl.
“[Doctors] at Dell Children’s, Texas Children’s, at Dana-Farber at John Hopkins, and MD Anderson all agreed it was DIPG,” Mr Doss said.
His wife added: “It’s kind of our family thing that God healed Roxli.”
The family said Roxli will continue to undergo treatments as a precaution and her condition will be monitored.
